Description
Pontypridd History Tour takes you on an exciting journey through this iconic market town, situated at the gateway to three historic valleys of the South Wales coalfield. This guide delves into the many changes that have shaped Pontypridd over time, from its pastoral past to its current status as a thriving community.
From drovers' river crossings to the town's role in the capitalist mineral prospecting era, this book explores the excesses of the South Wales coal and railway bonanza. It reveals how Pontypridd has endured into the 21st century, outlasting the pits that gave it life and rearing it.
